Got to be yourself
Don't belong to no one
Belonging to someone
isn't loving someone
You are yourself
yourself is what you were meant to be
You can love others
Yourself
But when you give yourself away
You put love away
For the sake of security
Your security becomes your jail cell
Look at you
Aren't you a perfect picture
Nailed to the wall
Everyone can see you
But no body feels you
You just hang there
As every Possibility goes by
It's frustration and impatience with your husband's way
Hey, what happened to the love
You gave it away, for security
